Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 handful Chive Blossoms
  • 1 bottle White Wine Vinegar / Apple Cider Vinegar / Rice Vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Rinse a handful of chive blossoms in a fine mesh strainer.
  • Spread the rinsed blossoms our out on a flat surface or on a mesh drying rack. Either place in direct sunlight for an hour or two, or place in safe place that has good airflow for 24 - 48 hours.
  • Once the blossoms are dry place into a sterilized glass jar.
  • Pour your choice of vinegar over top. (*See notes for details on choosing a vinegar).
  • Place a peice of parchment paper overtop and seal with the jar lid/ring or an elastic band. The acidity of the vinegar can react with metal, so it's best practice to use parchment paper. However, you can also use a bottle with a quork, a clean cloth (sealed with an elastic band) or a plastic canning lid.
  • Place your jar of Chive Blossom Vinegar in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks. You can leave it for just a few days. However, both the flavour and colour become much more potent when you let it infuse for about fourteen days.
  • Once you have let your vinegar to infuse for up to fourteen days, it's time to strain out the blossoms. Place a strainer overtop a measuring cup, bowl or wide-mouth jar and pour the vinegar through. Toss the blossoms in the compost and pour the strained vinegar into a jar to store. Salad dressing bottles work great for this!
  • Use as you would other vinegars.
  • You can store this Chive Blossom Infused Vinegar in fridge for up to eight months.

Notes

*If you're looking for the most nutritious vinegar to use, definitely go with apple cider vinegar. Although I should note, it stays slightly amber and doesn't take on as pink a hue. So, if you're looking to get the most vibrant pink hue, use either rice vinegar or white wine vinegar.
This vinegar is great for salad dressings! It goes great with a little olive or flaxseed oil and drizzled over fresh some leafy greens.
